Forge World Lord Zhufor! BAMF model!

Old School here,

Speaking of Lords, I have here the model that will be gracing my World Eaters as a Chaos Lord; Lord Zhufor from Forge World! Much like the zerks, I kind of ho-hummed when I saw this model online. Then I got a little exited when I got the sprues ... and again like I did with the zerks, I went crazy once I started putting him together. .First off, this model had the teflon of releasing agents on it! I have never soaked and scrubbed anything this much in my life (that's what she said:D ). After a couple days of getting the agent off and cutting, filing and scraping the massive amount of flash, I finally got to put this bad mother f@*&er together and this is one impressive model..First off, it is huge. Look at it compared to the other zerks from my first squad! Second, there are tons and tons of tiny details everywhere on this model, which we will all see once I start painting this thing. Third, there are some parts (the axe and dead commissar) that are too small to file, so with the grace of the Blood God and a little bit of Green Stuff and Superglue let's hope it all holds..There are still a lot of things to do here before I am ready to paint him; mostly basing in detail and I am debating putting the cape on him. If anyone has any advise for fixing the cape on him so it stays even through handling, please hit me up! I also left off the trophy racks and I also do the same for all my termies. They just get in the way of poses and really limit their range of motion and for Zhufor, I wanted him to look feirce and full fo killyness, not static like the FW example..Finally, for those of you wondering what I did with the bare head ... let's just say that ties into a much bigger project I have planned. Feedback welcome as always!
